Subject:      Winter oil?
Content-Type: text/html

<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>Hi all, Well it's going to start cooling down soon and I have A question as to what people in cold climates run in there 2.1L. I live in Colorado and travel to the mountains just about every weekend were it can get -10 below at times. Last year I just left the 20/50 in and that was a bad idea as I blew oil filter seals ect. However 10/40 will not hold pressure going over the high passes. I have heard mention of a 5w50 synthetic. Anyone have experience with this and/or does it exist? If It does I am hopeing this would be the middle ground of holding pressure while climbing at 10,000 feet and still flowing on really cold starts. Thanks for the help.</DIV>
